sidered herself his wife. Sometimes, their interactions even felt like those of an old married couple."Alright, alright, how long will you two keep staring at each other"Feng Ming couldn't help but sp...Seeing An Xuetang like this, Shuangshuang's heart clenched, and her hand under the quilt unconsciously tightened.

What are you going to do

An Xuetang just took a deep look at her, without answering her question.

Her attitude baffled Shuangshuang, leaving her speechless. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Yun walked in expressionlessly with a bound person by his side.

Looking at the person under his control, Shuangshuang's body became increasingly tense. She knew exactly who this person was, and she was very familiar with him.

This person was precisely Ming Deng's confidant, and among those who had been protecting her these years, he was certainly one of them.

She knew the trusted aides near Ming Deng had been lurking outside Beijang Wangfu, but she hadn't expected them to fall so easily into Yun Si's hands.

The people in Beijang Royal Manor had long known about Ming Deng and Zhi Er's actions these days. Since they had caught Ming Deng's confidant, they naturally wouldn't let it go easily.

As she was lost in thought, An Xue Tang looked at her and spoke slowly, "This person...seems familiar, right"

Shuangshuang didn't know what An Xuetang wanted to do at this moment, so she was uneasy and looked at her with a pursed mouth.

Although An Xuetang's face was smiling now, and her smile was indeed beautiful, for some reason she felt that her smile at this moment was terrifying.

Ming Ming, even though An Xue Tang hadn't done anything yet, she already felt a deep sense of fear at this moment.

Seeing that she got no response, An Xuetang didn't expect one either. After finishing her words, she cast a meaningful look between Shuangshuang and the man.

Before anyone else could react, An Xue Tang suddenly drew a dagger and, without a word, stabbed it straight into the man's heart with a smile on her face, right in front of everyone.

< >Shuangshuang's eyes widened, "You"

Stunned, she hadn't even managed to utter a complete sentence before seeing An Xuetang swiftly draw the dagger from the man's heart under her gaze.

Without giving the man a chance to breathe, she plunged the blade into his neck again and again. Blood gushed out, splattering onto the ground and her fair face, staining it crimson.

She raised her left hand, carelessly wiping the blood from her face, the smile at the corner of her mouth becoming even more unrestrained, a flamboyant and alluring crimson.

Such An Xue Tang caused Shuangshuang's whole body to tremble. Even Feng Ming and Ning'er, who were in the room with her, looked thoughtful and gazed at An Xue Tang one after another.

Her sudden change shocked everyone.

Looking at Ming Deng's confidant die right before her eyes, the one who struck was none other than the Northern Border Princess she had always thought to be gentle and radiating maternal love. Shuangshuang felt a blankness in her mind, completely unable to describe her current emotions.

She could only stare blankly at An Xue Tang's strangely eerie smile on her face, her scalp tingling with goosebumps.

In the past, she truly felt a motherly tenderness and sense of security from An Xuetang, allowing her to rely on her without reservation.

It was as if no matter what she did wrong, An Xuetang would never punish her, let alone threaten her life.

But at this moment, a sense of impending death suddenly surged within her heart, especially when she met An Xue Tang's smiling yet unsmiling eyes.

Her eyes gave her a deep sense of unease, as if...once she did anything that went against An Xuetang or the Bei Jiang Wangfu, the dagger in her hand could almost be wielded without hesitation against her.

She will surely meet the same fate as Ming Deng's confidante.

Such a realization caused Shuangshuang's body to tremble involuntarily.

Her facial expression was vacant, her slightly dazed eyes gradually drooping. No one knew what she might be thinking anymore.

While An Xue Tang dealt with that man, her gaze fell on Shuang Shuang. She still held the blood-dripping dagger in her right hand, and Shuang Shuang's eyes, showing neither sorrow nor joy, stared at Shuang Shuang on the bed. After a moment of contemplation, she raised her foot and walked step by step towards the bed.

To anyone looking at her, she appeared to be making a move to kill Shuangshuang. As she got closer and closer, Shuangshuang's face turned whiter and her brows furrowed even deeper.

My mind was racing with countless thoughts, overwhelmed by despair. I felt blank and lost.

Until An Xue Tang stood by the bed, she gritted her teeth and abruptly said, "Can you...have someone else do it"

"Don't you think I'm going to kill you"

Shuangshuang pursed her lips and looked at her silently, not knowing what she meant.

Isn't she about to kill

But seeing her holding a dagger in her right hand, and the aura about her entire being, she dared not think further. The more she thought, the more afraid she became. Countless terrifying guesses entangled in her heart, like a cold-blooded serpent slowly crawling over her heart, making her feel creeped out and her scalp numb.

This moment, he unconsciously bit his lip and stared at An Xuetang for a long time. Seeing that she didn't make a move, he cautiously asked, "Isn't it..."

An Xuetang curled the corners of her lips into a smile. "Of course not, since I promised before that I wouldn't harm you, this princess will keep my word and spare your life in gratitude for your help."

"This imperial concubine always keeps her word. Since I have already made a promise, of course, I won't attack you now."

Shuangshuang opened her mouth, wanting to ask her if, if she couldn't do it herself, why was the atmosphere now so tense

She wanted to ask, but she didn't dare, so she finally just closed her mouth.

Because, at this moment, An Xue Tang was so unfamiliar to her that she subconsciously dared not speak recklessly, fearing that she might inadvertently anger her.

Thinking about how she just didn't blink an eye, saying she would do it and doing it without giving anyone a chance to breathe.

To be honest, if she were to really kill her, she hoped it would be someone else who did it, not the person standing in front of her, An Xuetang.

She didn't want the tenderness and affection she had finally received from An Xue Tang to vanish like this. If they really wanted her dead, couldn't they find someone else to do it Even Ning Er or Yun Si, she could accept that.

But now An Xue Tang actually said she wouldn't kill her. Since she wouldn't kill her, what was the point of all this she was doing right now

Just when she couldn't figure it out, An Xuetang suddenly bent down and leaned closer to her.

At this moment, their hands clasped in tight fists, breathing became rapid and uncontrollable, their heartbeats quickened uncontrollably, and cold sweat beaded on their palms.

Didn't she say she wouldn't kill her

Looking at her terrified expression, An Xue Tang suddenly burst into laughter, "It seems that the little master of the Western Regions Demon Clan isn't very impressive either, is he This princess hasn't even done anything yet, and you're already this scared Shouldn't it be the other way around"nt, Shuangshuang pursed her lips and stared at An Xuetang carefully, "My Lady, are you truly not thinking of selling Shuangshuang"An Xue Tang chuckled, "Of course not. In your eyes, would this empress...
